Hello,
Having some issues with my starboard engine, port engine is fine. Both engines have less than 500 hours, boat ( 1991 boston whaler offshore 27) was shipped between Florida and Michigan for ten years. The boat is my grandfathers and is now to old to enjoy it. I recently took up fishing two years ago.
last year had the famous "creating oil" problem occurred with the starboard side. I found almost a gallons worth of extra oil when completing a oil change and knew there was a problem. replaced all the head gaskets, and spark plug seals because we found unburned gas in the spark plug housing. Compression tests were in the normal range. All new spark plugs, fuel filters and impellers. checked oil periodically and everything seemed fine. That side engines spitter was never as strong as the port FYI.
Upon taking boat out this season, the starboard oil was very milky. I was told that it could be condensation and to perform a double oil change to get as much of the milky oil out. after the second oil change and running it for 10 hours the oil was still milky. Dropped off the boat almost two weeks ago and have still yet heard back from the shop(certified Honda repair).
Can condensation cause the oil to change as milky as the pictures attached?
Three pictures:
1. starbaord side
2. port side
3. starboard after second oil change.
Any help or leads would be great.
Thanks in advance
